HOH #3 -- Clear Skies in Unova! For the competitive nuts that may remember, back in Generation 5, Pokemon Online had a tier called Clear Skies. Clear Skies was a direct response to the OU metagame at the time, which was very happily deemed "Weather Wars" (we even had a Mafia theme about it! ...a bad one but still) as Politoed, Ninetales, and Tyranitar with his cohort Hippowdon ran through the metagame like a cleaver in a horror movie (Abomasnow and his hail, not so much). For this challenge, you will be laddering on the BW2 OU (Clear Skies no longer exists) ladder with teams that do not have the following abilities/moves: Drizzle, Rain Dance, Drought, Sunny Day, Sand Stream, Sandstorm, Snow Warning, and Hail. If you are caught using any of these moves or abilities at any point, you will be disqualified from winning this HOH. Also, send your corresponding pool leader either a direct export of your team or a sketch (as in the Pokemon on your team) during the HOH run. This is so we can fact-check with you later down the line. The top two people in each pool on the BW2 OU ladder peaks in each pool in BW2 OU during the challenge time (use /records) will win HOH #3. Before I reveal the deadline, let me explain what laddering is for the uninitiated. Laddering is a concept tied to Find Battle on the server. One of the options is Rated Battle, which you will want on for this challenge. Doing rated battles is laddering, as you win or lose points depending on whether or not you win. This is going to be all this challenge asks for, just playing rated battles on the BW2 OU ladder until the deadline getting the highest peak that you can. For simplicity sake, you will not have to create a new alt specifically for this challenge. We will look at the rankings at the end of time and grab screencaps for the winners. Now, the deadline. Originally, I was going to have this challenge be a simple CC 1v1 laddering HOH until the sheer amount of rage over alleged RNG within the challenges themselves changed that course. Normally, I would have forewarned you prior to the challenge (like make teams during Eviction #2), so as a result this HOH will be slightly extended -- by one day to be exact. As a result, you will have until Friday, December 9th at 11:59PM CST (GMT -6) to compete in this challenge. Please make sure to send me your team in one format or another, and again be vigilant for anyone choosing to ignore the Clear Skies rule. Tagging everyone who was a regular voter last week here so they can be notified. @TraceofLife, @Hurricane, @aaditya01, @HSOWA, @Sasuke Uchiha, @Zyrader, @Atli, @Romantic_Guy, @raka143, @ajhockeystar, @Khaloss, @Agent K, @HBC, @Hassin627, @VirajVora. Outgoing HOHs (@Cheezeburgar, @Jethalal, @beforedawn, @Xxdecidudeye), you are unable to compete in the HOH this week. IMPORTANT EDIT: MAKE SURE TO PM EITHER FATE OR I YOUR NOMINEES SHOULD YOU WIN HOH. EVERYONE IN THAT LIST UP TO ROMANTIC_GUY, MESSAGE FATE. FROM HELLRAKA ON, MESSAGE ME. NOMINEES THAT WEREN'T EVICTED LAST WEEK CAN PLAY AGAIN. I HOPE THIS IS CLEAR ENOUGH, PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF NOT. EDIT2: Voting info in the OP has been updated. I suggest taking a look at the tables sometime, I have footnotes and everything! EDIT3: Wincon changed from "highest score when challenge ends" to "highest peak during the challenge".
Aaditya 01 was banned by Atli! Aaditya 01 was boosting on the BW2 OU ladder in an attempt to win this week's HOH. As a result, he has been banned from the server and disqualified from the game. This also means that my pool will be single elimination for this week. Only ONE person from my pool can win HOH. (The top two from @Joeypals!!'s pool still qualify for HOH.) For those of you in my pool (@TraceofLife, @Hurricane, @HSOWA, @Sasuke Uchiha, @Zyrader, @Atli, @Romantic_Guy, @La.Neptune, @MEOWMIX), when sending in your teams and screenshots of your peak score, make sure to include TWO people that you'd like to nominate for eviction. (This goes for everyone, I just tagged everyone in my pool competing in this week's HOH so they were aware of this change.)
I don't know about it lol i thought it is also a loophole made willingly by joey to check creativity like previous ones
I thought leave common sense in this event, who does a 1v1 battle in ubers ?? If that was a way i thought this is a way too, anyways np if their is any such rule i respect atli, np this was distracting me too much ;)
6. Do not misuse the server nor its guidelines: - Stealing accounts or channels is prohibited. Any attempt to undermine the legitimacy of ladder rankings or tournaments (server or forum) counts as misuse. DDoS and other "cyber attacks" will not be tolerated. Evading and trying to find loop-holes for malicious intent both violate the guidelines. All ban appeals should be made directly in the Disciplinary Committee on the forums. Use of the server as a dating service or other various web services that it is not may also count as abuse.
literally right there EDIT: I should also add that the "don't flame" rule probably ought to be more harshly enforced. This isn't in response to Aaditya, just an overall comment.
Well, here's a warning to not evade! You can always appeal your ban at http://pokemon-online.eu/forums/43/
Oohh...thnx fate but np :) i said above if there is any such rule then i respect atli's decision , i was just saying that i didn't know about that rule and didn't do it willingly, just this :) np
Lol but i would be happy if i was banned for dating lycanroc ;) that was better :) just read dating banned too
The thread title is wrong, it should read something like this Big Brother [HOH #3] READ POSTS #185, #187, #188, #190, #191, #196 and #197 Fuck I love india.
No more tears, aaditya. Your dreams of being banned for dating lycanroc will be forever immortalized in the hall of classics.
